are you content?

I'm content with myself in that I go to bed every night knowing that my personal qualities are my greatest assets. I'll always be a good friend, fiercely loyal, emotional, caring, etc etc. But I have a gaping hole in my chest ever since the most important piece of my life, my girlfriend of over a year, turned on me with such an unthinkable ferocity and callousness for reasons that still aren't clear to me other than she wanted to be with her ex-boyfriend again. That's gotta be the worst. Someday I'll be content again, hopefully soon. For now, everything seems meaningless and I'm trying my best to turn it around. That's the worst, when you earn money or buy something and you don't give a shit because it all seems so pointless. I'm not at peace with her, her friends or that douche bag. It's throwing me off.
I wouldn't be content if a Ferrari 575M appeared in my driveway tommorrrow.
That sucks. I hope you can work through this soon. I broke up with my girl in mid-june and I still got really depressed, even though I dumped HER. I'm pretty much done with that but still not ready to see anyone else. I have to set a few things right in my life first. I know I won't be able to be happy with someone else until I am happy with myself.
Anyway, when I start missing her I remind myself of what a pain in the ass she was and how much grief and endless frustration she caused me over the dumbest stuff. Yeah she was a sweet girl, smart, hawt etc, but she drove me nuts and I'm better off without her. I think about that poster somebody sells that has a pic of a really hot chick over the caption "somewhere out there, some guy is sick of her shit".
Sounds like your ex wasn't worthy of you if she couldn't appreciate what a good person you are. Everytime you think of her, remind yourself of what a worthless whore she is and how lucky you are that she showed her true colors now and not a marriage and two kids later.
So just keep working on yourself and your life/goals. Forget about her, her stupid friends, and her loser boyfriend. Ignore them, pretend they don't exist.
Good luck Bro.

Hmm, i guess that might not exactly fit the description of "at peace with others", but at least it helps you move in that direction. To be truly at peace you must let go entirely. Easier said than done, thats for sure!
